About Me

Let's see, I have just started my venture into the gardening world back in Nov. 2007. I have a little knowledge but I am constantly learning something new. I live in beautiful Fort Pierce Florida. I am about 8 mins. from the ocean and the river. I have a relatively large yard and I am going to transform it into a very tropical and very peaceful place that produces the very finest of foods. I am blogging this process to help others answer the questions they may have, and to receive the help that I need. I hope you enjoy watching my yard transform.

I am long over due for an update on my Ice Cream Banana Tree ( Musa acuminata ). I purchased this Ice Cream Banana Tree off the Internet back in February. I did a post on Feb. 25th listing pictures of the baby Banana Tree. Click here if you want more information and to compare size. In just 5 short months my Ice Cream Banana Tree has grown about 3 or 4 feet. I finally put the Banana Tree in the ground today. Now it will really take off! You can see my water bottle irrigation project at the base of the Banana Tree. I have used this water bottle irrigation project on all my fruit trees.

Why is it called Icecream banana tree? Does the bananas from it taste like banana icecream? Us cold climate gardeners do not have a clue about all the tropical plants you grow - but like to read about them on your blog.

i hope you have as much enjoyment from your banana tree as i do from mine. they grow very quickly---mine are only 3 years old and i have had many harvests. i have 2 varieties---apple banana and goldfinger. i am awaiting the ripening of the goldfinger--it will be the first harvest for the goldfinger. please check out my website www.mysisterdalesgarden.com and go to the photo gallery and then to banana evolution---it is so cool. wait until you get the banana flowers they are magnificent. please also follow my blog www.mysisterdalesgarden.blogspot.com a few days ago i posted my banana harvest. keep in touch.miriam
